Dr. Zhi Liang is the Principal Investigator of the nanoscale thermal fluids laboratory (NTFL) in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at Missouri University of Science and Technology (MST).

Dr. Liang’s research is focused on computational micro/nanoscale heat and mass transfer, i.e., the research to use a variety of modeling techniques to fundamentally understand the dynamics and phase change of nanodroplets, nanobubbles, and nanoparticles and make use of these phenomena for various applications such as efficient cooling of microelectronics, power generation, energy harvesting, thermal medical therapy, and advanced manufacturing.
